If a cell has 24 pairs of chromosomes in its diploid state, how many
chromosomes will it have after Meiosis 2?
A. 12
B. 24
C.48
D. 6

Respuesta :

Answer:

option A is correct that is 12

Explanation:

meiosis occur in two phases in first phase DNA replication occur and amount of DNA become doubled without any change in the chromosome number and two daughter cell (each 2 n)are formed.

now in stage 2 each daughter cell undergoes mitosis with the formation of two cells with half chromosomes(n)

now 2n=24

n=24/2 =12

after meiosis stage 1...........two daughter cell each with  24 chromosomes

stage 2 .............each daughter cell form two grand daughter cell each with 12 chromosomes

net result.......4 daughter cell each with 12  chromosome(assuming cell as a diploid cell)

If a cell has 24 chromosomes before cell division then the daughter cell resulting from the mitotic division will have 24 chromosomes while the daughter cell resulting from the meiotic division will contain 12 chromosomes each.

The answer is option A.

What are meiotic and mitotic cell divisions?

There are sorts of cell departments: mitosis and meiosis. most of the time whilst humans discuss “cellular division,” they suggest mitosis, the procedure of making new frame cells. Meiosis is the sort of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells. Mitosis is an essential technique for lifestyles.
